No you don't you get charms on each monitor which may well be a huge PITA (I haven't tried it as the VM is on a different machine to my main machine and I use RDP to connect to it). Win-Q will allow you to search apps, but it is 100% clear the main focus of Win8 is the single app/multi-app overview experience.You get a start button on each monitor which will be a huge improvement.

Windows 98 - good
Windows ME - bad
Windows XP - good
Windows Vista - bad
Windows 7 - good
Windows 8 - ?
Anyone notice a pattern?
Windows 8 will be fine for phones and tablets - not so good for desktops - I have tried beta copies and didn't like it.
And M-DOS, MS-DOS, OS/2, 1, 2, 3, 3.11 Windows for Workgroups, 95, CE, NT and othersforgot 2000..

Yup. 3, 3.1 and 3.11 IIRC ...wasnt there 3.1 as well as 3.11? i forget.. still got 3.11 on about 40 floppy disks somewhere
forgot 2000..
vista wasnt bad either, poor vendor drivers and poor system specs from the cheap end of the market gave it that rep.
Liking Win8 a lot less now
Browsing away and suddenly - Big Blue Screen - Your pc has encountered a problem and needs to restart...
Reboot
fail
raboot
fail
reboot into self diagnostics, runs for a few mins, self repair, runs for a few minutes, sorry can't repair your pc would you like to Refresh your pc? none of your files will be lost.. OK then
Refresh runs for a few minutes, boots into Windows and... 60% of my programs have been deleted along with drivers for half my devices :bang:
Do you try to come across as a supercilious tit Neil or does it come naturally to you?
makes me chuckle people expect previews/betas/release clients to work flawlessly.
If it's a release preview, it should work - an RP is an essentially finished product that just hasn't been released to manufacturer (RTM) yet.
Assuming their RP is the same as our Release Candidate, it means "we think it should work, but are giving you this to try and root out any final few bugs that may be in there as our test suite doesn't cover 100% of use cases (and no test suite can...)"If it's a release preview, it should work - an RP is an essentially finished product that just hasn't been released to manufacturer (RTM) yet.
the full release is expected in october if i remember rightly.

big soft moose said:tbh i don't expect any microsoft opperating system to be anything other than full of bugs and glitches until several months (possibly years) after full release - I won't be upgrading until all that crap has beern worked through and fixed
